Which side of the plane to sit from Eros Airport (Windhoek) to Rundu Airport (Rundu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of Namibia's most dramatic inland geological features, including the Eros Mountains and the iconic red sandstone cliffs of the Waterberg Plateau, followed by the lush Okavango River valley.
Search flights from ERS to NDU
Eros Mountains
Immediate views of the jagged mountain range that forms the eastern boundary of the Windhoek valley.
Waterberg Plateau
The stunning red sandstone table mountain rising 200 meters above the surrounding plains, visible about 30 minutes into the flight.
Otavi Mountains
The karst landscape and ancient limestone hills near the towns of Otavi and Grootfontein.
Angolan Border
Clear views across the Okavango River into southern Angola and the town of Calai during final approach.
The right side is best for morning flights when the sun illuminates the eastern face of the Waterberg Plateau. Keep a keen eye out mid-flight for the distinct change in soil color from grey-brown to the deep Kalahari red. During landing, this side often provides the best view of the river's winding path.

Windhoek Cityscape
Bird's eye view of the capital city nestled within the Khomas Hochland hills shortly after departure.
Otjozondjupa Farmlands
Expansive views of Namibia's commercial cattle ranching heartland with its characteristic grid-like fence lines.
Kavango Woodlands
The transition from dry thornbush savanna to more dense, tropical-style teak and mopane woodlands.
Okavango Floodplains
Vibrant green marshes and water channels visible as the plane descends into the Rundu region.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh direct sunlight reflecting off the Namibian interior. This side provides a great perspective of the vastness of the central plateau and the geometric patterns of traditional homesteads as you approach the north.
